Caern Leader: Nikki Davies Totem: Greater Sea Gull

Caern Guardian: Anna Hurd secondary Totem: Rabbit

Theurge: Betty Dollar Location: Ramsey Island, St. David's Head, Wales

Nikki Davies: Fianna, Philodox, Rank 2, 5'6 ft tall, 32 years old, a middle aged Fianna, who has little renown for herself, she is in fact quite a tragic case, she invested her time as a pup building the Caern she now rules over, but because she opposed the wrong Shadow Lords, she now receives little support from the rest of Garou society. She is rarely at moots of other Caerns as she is unable to pull herself away from this Caern due to a shortage of Garou. She has a rounded face with thick curling hair; she is not beautiful but has a girl-next-door appeal. Her aging years and lack of progress make her a bit desperate and eager to make new allies. She dresses as a hippy but is often seen in the Caern’s ‘work’ uniform. Nikki is beginning to make progress now as the Caern begins to collect respect, however some of the past decisions are beginning to haunt her.

Laura West: Glass Walker, Thurge, Rank 1, 5ft 2’ tall, 15 years old, the younger and less able sister of Richard West, her name at London (not that she attends often) is 'Mouse'. She was an early developer having a first change at 12, she was treated like a child, even after her rite of passage, so she was quick to leave London. It was a bad move though as she threw herself in with a new Caern, which has never amounted to much. She is still a bubbly character about the Caern, as if nothing fazes her, and can be very headstrong. Despite her strong character she has little faith in her abilities, and it makes her desperate to find her place. She is well endowed, but still maintains the look of a 13-year-old girl, her hair is long, brown and straight and she wears baggy clothes. She has grown to resent Betty Dollar since the Head Theurge position was vested from her, and she is taking it to heart, she now sees it as a failure in the eyes of her family, and gets particular resentment from her Garou brother Richard.

Anna Hurd: Get-of-Fenris, Ahroun, Rank 1, 5ft 9’ tall, 24 years old. Anna dresses in smart fashionable clothes and maintains a doctors degree, and yet is a shamed Garou. She is not much of a Get either, being peaceful and with a high tolerance factor and has no love for her tribe. She has often considered changing tribe altogether, but the Furies never seemed to want her at the Isle of Man. She has been accepted here and is not bothered by the Caerns lack of political power, preferring the beauty of the landscape. Her mother is the famous Gale Anna Hurd, the scriptwriter, and has been born by human parents; she assumes the Garou gene was passed on by her grand father. Here she is known as her Garou name, 'Claws Cause', but this name is not accepted outside the Caern, as she made a grave error after her rite of passage, she broke the ceremonial Glaive 'Wyrm Tooth'. She never leaves the Caern and loathes meeting other Garou as the subject is always brought up. She is a pretty, but distant blonde, and sometimes has light pink highlights, and has a falcon tattoo on her back. Claws was nearly killed by a visiting Shadow Lord and she has now become unstable around them, she is also beginning to show the first signs of harano.

Betty Dollar: Stargazer, Thurge, Rank 2, Metis, 5ft 4’ tall, 32 Years old, a bald albino Garou, who spends most of her time in Homid, she can be said to try and shun her deformity, and is the best known of the Garou at this Caern. She should have the Head Thurge position, but the fact that she is a Metis, disallows her a post. So she does the job, but gets no credit. Her reward though is that she is treated well here and no one complains if she tries to hide her deformity and forget her shame. She is oriental looking, and due to contacts, has blue eyes. Although a Thurge she is the Caerns Galliard too, and is a lover of stories and riddles. She will wear full-length clothing, never in shorts or a t-shirt. When especially down she wears one of her many wigs. Betty is becoming more confident in herself and feels that she is becoming a valuable member of the Caern. She still carries the scars from the visit from a high-ranking Shadow Lord that has encouraged her to cover up even more. She particularly tries to hide the scarring on her neck.

Peggy Longtooth: Silent Strider, Philodox, Rank 3, 5ft 4’ tall, 56 Years old, Peggy is only mentioned as she occasional drops by, this Caern is meant to be her home but she spends less than 3 weeks a year here. Her time is often spent trying to build on the Caern's standing and in recruiting new Garou and collecting Fetish's. She is the x student of Deimos, she no longer speaks to her mentor though as the two parted on bad terms. Peggy looks like an old crone, her hair wrangled and knotted, she has less teeth in her mouth than toes on her feet (and one of those is missing), she uses a crutch to move around, and bandages the stump were her foot once was. She cackles and regularly breaks wind. She has some of Deimos mysticism and is good at prediction although she often gives a cryptic answer.

Stefan Hein: Silver Fang, Philodox, Rank 1, 5ft 11’ tall, 23 Years old, Stefan is the Fang that is due to marry the last accredited kinfolk of the house of the Conquering Claw…and is not pleased about it. He has shortened hair and a noticeable facial scar covering his lip to his ear and by his reputable birth brings respect to this Caern. However by putting the Caern on the map he has brought some unwanted attention in the light of people who would wish him harm. Stefan is sure to become important in British Garou politics, and according to prophecy, more so with his unborn son. Stefan is not as wealthy as the other English Fangs and can at times be unapproachable preferring the quiet of his own company or in the playing of the piano. His full title is ‘Stefan Sorrowbringer, Cliath Half-Moon of the Alpha Tribe, Bearer of the Tear of Twilight, Betrothed of the last scion of House Conquering Claw, Of the bloodline of Fights-the-Final-Winter, Of the Hein family of House Gleaming Eye’.

‘Andy’ : Suspected Stargazer, Ahroun, Pup, 5ft 9’ tall, 19 years old. Andy is a half cast oriental, wiry but muscular and having short jet-black hair with slight elongated eyes. Andy is loyal to Stefan more than to the Caern, and has some reservations about staying at the Caern. He seems to know more about Stefan’s destiny than Stefan does, and is keen to protect and defend the Silver Fang. Andy is undergoing a rite of passage at the Caern of the Seabird, which is being closely mentored by Father Wimbish, who seems to owe both Garou a life favour. Kayleigh is pursuing Andy, though it is suspected that this is to encourage him to stay at the Caern through having a mate. So far he has not taken the bait. Andy also holds a Caern position – he is the Keeper of the Land.

Kinfolk - This Caern is heavily undermanned, so they use some Kinfolk at the Caern to bolster the numbers.

Lesley Wilson: Shadow Lord kinfolk, 5ft 10’. 39 years old. Lesley is the replacement of Anna, who killed herself when she lost her Caern position. She is more concerned with the maintenance of the island and her RSPB job than in aiding the Sept. She is cold and unemotional, and a Yorkshire lass, hiding her true feelings very deep down. She has so far not made any friends but for Kayleigh, who she nurtures out of companionship, but secretly finds pathetic. Lesley is tall and slender favouring red and black garments when not in her uniform, and will spend much of her time in her duties. She has managerial qualities.

Kayleigh Jones: Suspected Children of Gaia, or Silent Strider Kinfolk, 5ft 7’ tall, 15 Years old, slightly smaller than her mother, looking very similar but far more attractive, Kay has long black hair. She undertakes her past mother’s job on the Island, and is presently finishing an environmental course then will aid her to do this job with full pay. Kay is very shy and has the attention of several town folk, but has eyes for only one, a French boy called 'Gaston', his feelings are not the same though. When she speaks she draws her words, although young she has had many partners, but few hang around till the morning. This makes her quite quick to try and impress a new man, and can make her look as slutty.

The Caern: Made in 1998, the Caern has not grown in power since. The Caern often has problems recruiting due to its weak power and low Wyrm presence. The Island is only inhabited by two people, the RSPB wardens and is a dedicated bird sanctuary. There are several abandoned farms on the island, which have not been used since the Industrial revolution, and a herd of deer, and a huge population of Rabbits -estimated at 3 million on the mile square island. The Caern was promising when established but the Leader opposed Lord Gilliat, at a Grand Moot, and when he became the King of England, all help for this Caern then ran dry. Now that the Shadow Lord is no longer the King, things have not improved and Nikki is always on the lookout for new recruits for the Caern, so she can fill some of the key roles. The Caern has literally no political standing, and little power, and it is probably a good thing that the Wyrm is weak in the area and the Caern is still unknown to the Wyrm. A few Garou blatantly shun the Caern but in later days the Caern has begun to receive visitors. Ian Henrys is becoming a regular face at the Caern, bringing news and gossip, although it is suspected that he is there as a spy. The Shadow Lords recently made a play for the ownership of the Caern, and were foiled by Stefan Hein’s notable position and Andy. It’s future remains uncertain.
